  1. I have been investigating red myself recently, and asking that same question, I think it is fascinating how colours change their significance and symbolism across different cultures. For me personally, I tend to use red in paintings wnen I am ‘ fired up’ , either with great energy and enthusiasm, or occassionally with anger. It also symbolises blood and sacrifice and death to my mind. However, contradictarily, I find that red is a brilliant acce t colour, as you have demonstrated so well in your photo, and as has been used in films spectacularly effectively eg in Schindlers List and Dont Look Now 🙂

  2. Lollipops….red to me means lollipops. My kids love the red ones–that is their favorite. So, red makes me happy to think of their happy, sticky, red faces. 🙂

  3. Love this Michael. so different than your posts. I live in a red room, it is one of my favorite colors and denotes warmth, love and passion!

    • Kathryn, thank you, it is always nice to be surrounded by warmth, love and passion. Its amazing how colours can evoke emotions in us all and red is certainly a colour that can do that.
      Have a great day 🙂

      • I sure will and you do the same. Thanks for perusing my blog 🙂
